There are some people you hate at first but end up liking more and more the more you interact with them.
There are some people you love at first, but the more you come to understand that person, the more helpless you feel.

The Great Film Emperor, Ji Mian thinks that Young Master Xiao Jiashu is an arrogant, poison-mouthed, spoilt, rich snob who exploits his strong background to ruin people’s lives on a whim. But when he somehow obtains the ability to read minds, Ji Mian comes to realise that Xiao Jiashu is probably the most adorable person in the world.

This is a story about the rise of the acting-fanatic, Xiao Jiashu, as he silences his haters and wows the world with his magnificence.

That is just AWESOME ≧ω≦!!

The story is really fresh:

- it has a completely unique setting among the other novels. (Who may have thought that you can write a good story without transmigration or rebith (kidding)

... more>> - the relationships develop slowly and steady, and the overall story pase is smooth

- love rival is a normal human being, not a complete scum, this is a good example of a natural-feeling love triangle

__------__

There are not many well-written bl novels out there. QWFOD was the best in transmigration series. Moxiang Tongxiu's works are best among wuxia. And this one is my favourite among entertainment. <<less

NOTE: Used a MTL website to finish it. So some details may be fuzzy, but it’s complete.

A very sweet story focused on the couple’s development with hints of drama here and there. The romance was paced well but soon quicken. All villains were dealt with, but must say, there were just pop up villains sometimes. Family interactions were also cute and, of course, couple interactions were just pure sugar. Very nice story. Just a few eh’s here and there, but it’s ignorable. 4.5 rounding to 5.

ROMANCE:

... more>>
Spoiler

Our MC is just pure and cute. He doesn’t immediately recognize his feelings, but he does eventually. I felt that the realization was kind of fast, but I guess it’s understandable with him. The ML was struggling with his emotions especially with his lover and then the awakening bud of love for the MC. He was soft to his lover, but he didn’t fool himself with this one sided love. I always felt that the get together was rushed. But it didn’t really take away any assets of the plot. It just added more sugar to it all. There was someone against the couple (MC’s mother) and that was also understandable. It’s just the novel portrayed her as a very aggressive person. Very sweet romance

[collapse]

DRAMA:

Spoiler

I must say, there was a lot of unexpectedness out there. The drama was a sub plot of the main romance really. I wished it was a main part of it though. There was always hint of suspense here and there. (Hints of the trauma MC has, his phobias, sharing his past; it’s obvious something happened) But it did not really effected the relations as much as it should have. It was not until the end that it just poured out. All the dog blood drama you could have, you did have. It was unexpected too. There was hints, but none of it involved Chen Manni or Liu Wei. I admit, the most of the novel was the romance with white washing, and then it was as if the forgotten drama was finally added. Of course, there was ex lover drama, but it barely added spice to the story.

[collapse]

RELATIONS:

Spoiler

I wish the MC could have made friends. Or interacted with friends. Or something non ML related. Or family related. Just, you know, friendship related. Some side characters were introduced but they were mainly there to fill the additional dialogue or drive the plot. None of them heavily interacted with the MC or ML. (Other than the assistant or family) And I wish some of them would interact more with them. Pure sugar is nice but sometimes some cake or toffee is nice too.

[collapse]

OVERALL:

The story is mainly focused on the main couple. Everything and anything is meant to drive the couple together. Which is both a pro and con of the story. I wish some of my questions could have been answered, but that will only be possible with an epilogue. If you like a cute couple spreading dog food for all to taste, then there is no harm in reading the novel. Just a fair warning that it’s not a perfectly smooth rounded story, there’s some bumps here and there. <<less

Woow very very cute! I read some of the more negative reviews, but so far everything has been great.

Characters: 5/5

I love MC, he's tender at heart but also strong and self-assured (in a non-arrogant way). It's also adorable how much he adores ML (in a fan-idol type of way). ML so far is also great, he's genuinely a good person and totally pampering of the person he loves (even though it's not MC yet). Side characters are also not bad, I love the mom and I'm totally prepared to love... more>> the brother.

Plot: 5/5

I like the idea of the story. Sure, in reality telepathy would be way more annoying than this story writes it to be, but it's still quite entertaining. I also love the drama they're shooting; if someone knows something similar, tell me so I can watch it! I love strong brotherly love, and I even cried reading those scenes tbh.

Writing & Translation: 5/5

No problems, thanks for the hard work! <<less

Look I had to stop near the end, to come Register and write a Review cause it will be a shame to come look and not read this.
I love this book so much!!!
I liked FOD and saw this novel was from the same author. I started this on Friday night (which was a mistake by the way bc I end up not sleeping). I just love the plot and characters. The story about our ML who had accident and end up hearing people thoughts and so begin his... more>> discovery of people real personalities.

The MC is my little turtle, he soooo cute awwwhfhfhffjf. His thoughts remind me a bit of the MC from "i ship my adversaryXMe" except he is more cute than funny and a bit childish hahaah
Spoiler

Taking video of the ML boyfriend's bad acting

[collapse]
but at the same time he so hardworking and always try to improve himself. I just love him.

Our Ml? ML is bae okay??? He reminds a bit of the ML from "dont pick up your boyfriend...). He's calm, respectful, mature and faithful okay? Because let say the truth he did not cheat on his boyfriend or did not start having feelings for our MC (only laughing at his thoughts and start to understand him that's all) while he was in relationship. I felt regret for his ex-boyfriend because he lost such an amazing BF material and I understand too he did not love our ML enough. However at the same time no big regret I don't care I don't care I want my Mains together sksksksdhdh.

It's a light read book, fluffy really FLUFFY and cute. Wish somebody would recommend me something like this again cause I want more I want more >_< >_< <<less

I loved reading this novel. I read this last year and re-read it a second time. The ML gained the ability to hear other people’s thoughts but it doesn’t make his character overpowered. He just comes to realize that some people are not what they seem and not to judge people due to their appearance or first impression.

Excellent start so far. I do like the misunderstandings around the MC, and it's so rare for a novel to take a disliked protagonist and actually run with it a significant period of time. It makes the development of the ML's admiration for the MC more organic and interesting. And of course, I have a huge weakness for acting stories, and this does a pretty good job there.

I finished the novel in two days and must say it was sooooooooo sweet.

Usually I don't read this type of novel, but I gave it a try after I knew it was the same author as FOD and don't regret about it.

Okay I admit in the begining that I was relutant about the ML, but as time pass by they grow stickier and sweetier, I must consider treating my cavities after getting stuffed with so much sweet. They are made for each other like two halfs of a circle. Xiao... more>> shu is the cutest cinammon roll.

Anyway the novel can really touch your heartstrings. I cried not once, but five times. Give a try. <<less

Editing my review 2 years later. The summary includes this, "This is a story about the rise of the acting-fanatic, Xiao Jiashu, as he silences his haters and wows the world with his magnificence." Which in itself tells you all you need to know on how this novel was going to go down and with that in mind I was able to enjoy it. It's uber sweet. It's an easy read. I think this can also be considered as a slow burn. Overall if you just want a bit of... more>> entertainment and a breather from plot heavy novels, consider taking this one up. <<less

I always forgotten that I read this novel before and never finished. It's probably because the ML and his bf relationship annoyed me, and the author really made the bf bad just because he insured?. I honestly don't get how MC is written so naively. He was discriminate since young and you telling me he that naive? He sensitive to people emotions but sometimes he don't? Like please just pick one!!

I just created this account just to leave a review that this story is such a huge disappointment, too bad because it actually has some potential. I love FOD so I thought this would be such a joy to read but the MC ... more>>
Spoiler

I don't mind that the MC is your typical cute character but he seems too weak-minded for someone who spent half of his life in abroad and actually had a master degree,

[collapse]

and the ML
Spoiler

I can't stand him, he's that scum gong you usually read on rebirth novels, a cheater and thanks to his mind-reading ability, he would be too s*upid and naive to understand the MC and keeps misunderstanding him

[collapse]

And the mom

Spoiler

such a disappointment, too

[collapse]

And the characters that I hate the most (yes there are two because this novel has a lot of unlikeable characters),
Spoiler

the so-called gold medal agent of ML is your typical cannon fodder, he's too immature to perceive things objectively, he's lucky that the ML is assigned to him or else he won't get to this point of his career, and lastly, the grandfather of MC, he's irredeemable, if I'm the MC, I'll severe my ties to them right there and then, make use of the master degree in business and create my own business empire.

[collapse]

Anyway, I'm not gonna stop anyone from reading, you do you. I'm sorry if someone find my review offensive, the story is just frustrating to read from the very beginning lol <<less

Happy *-*

The beginning is slow and you get to love the MC.

He is a cute cinnamon bun. Ufff just too cute!

The Ex Lover is portrayed a little too pitiful...

Anyway, the dogfood and faceslapping was exquisite *chefskiss*

It's a good fluffy read that will satisfy you with enough face slapping and dog food. Don't listen to those people that the ML is not good for the MC because as far as I read, he rational and sensible with his powers. On the side of LLY, I don't know what others have seen on him to pity him, but for me he is not really good and was already had a straight character from the start lol.

To my surprise, I was immediately s**ked into this novel! The story really grabbed my attention with its premise: the MC is a smart, hardworking, fresh college grad who comes home expecting to work at his family’s company only to be told that there was no position for him. His father would rather him sit at home and do nothing than enter the company. As a result, his mother, who was once a big movie star, throws him into the entertainment business.

The most unique part of this story is that... more>> the ML is in love with another person when he meets the MC. Read: slow burn romance and (some) angst. Some reviewers did not like how the ML broke up with his previous boyfriend, but there were problems with that relationship before the MC showed up. The MC is a lovable puppy and the ML is a doting but shrewd acting god. Once they’re together, their romance is adorable and fluffy.

This is by the same author as QWFOD (Quickly Wear the Face of the Devil) so similarly, if you like OP couples, face slapping, and don’t mind a little bit of fantasy, you’ll definitely enjoy this novel. <<less

It's hard to find stories were MC and ML are both actors. The showbiz scenarios give me the same excitement of world hop stories.I like cute proactive protagonists and MC meets it well. ML chasing wife and ignorance to his own feelings at first was satisfying.

Read 10 chapters (or their first act together) then quit if you want to.

Its too short!! 😭😭😭 To be honest there were a few times where I wanted to drop this novel. First, it was because the ML was in a relationship with another guy 🥹. Second, was because the ML was like a jerk at the start, very blind and mean to the MC (although the MC was a little hmmm sus as well hahahaha - but still cute).

I'm glad I ended up persisting through "tough times" because the end was really sweet 🤭

Spoiler

ML and the other guy broke up at like chapter 60 smtg? And the last 30 chapters are basically the author spoon feeding us with sugar HAHAHAHHA

The first part of this novel was soooo good... definitely 4 and maybe 5 stars. Xiao Jiashu was very likable and I enjoyed seeing his growth. Also the budding relationship between him and Ji Mian. But it started going downhill around the time

... more>>
Spoiler

Jiashu got the part to play the robot. Maybe the author hadn't met foreigners before or traveled much. Their point of view is a bit off.

But the biggest issue was Jiashu's personality had a big change after he and Mian became a couple. I like Jiashu just the way he was before, why'd the author gotta make him more feminine?

[collapse]

That's just my gripe. I've reread this novel up to this point and stopped cause up until then it was worth rereading. <<less

Okay this was a SUPER SWEET one!!!! I never thought I'd be this into a danmei in which one of the MCs is in a relationship with someone besides the other MC. But wow do I love it! There is a little drama--a little dog-blood relish on top, if you will. But everyone is okay and happy at the end and I'm giggling at how adorable it all was!
